May the Fourth Be With You

May the Fourth Be With You! 

That is the greeting that is given on May the 4th to one and all. It's a pun-ish sort of play on the phrase "May the Force be with you," which is a blessing one gives to another from all the Star Wars movies and shows. It expresses a hope for others to be aligned with and aware of the Force. The Force is first introduced in the original Star Wars film, by the character Obi Wan Kenobi as "an energy field created by all living things." 


The only creative thing I've ever made that had to do with Star Wars was the above card (that's the official CriCut picture, not a picture of the actual one I made). I made it for my dad using my CriCut. It features the Millennium Falcon swooping through space, with the Death Star in the background and is very 3-D. 

Some day, I'd like to make some sort of a Star Wars quilt for myself, but likely not using any of the official fabrics that have gotten released over the years. They're mostly not the types of fabric designs that I enjoy using so I've never bought any of them. I may be surprised by the newest ones though, who knows? But most definitely I'll consider using this pantograph for allover quilting if it turns out to be bed-sized.

But until that time, I better go and watch the long-anticipated second season of Andor.
